EDIT 2: Could anyone recommend any free MMORPG's with a decent trial? I don't want to drop cash on another MMORPG until I try it extensively.
Glad you posted before you left, Touch. It's been a real pleasure meeting you on these boards and I can't wait until the day we can do some cross-server flashpoints and operations together. Hopefully it won't take the devs 6 months but you are probably correct.

As for other free to play MMO's. Star Trek online made some decent changes in their last patch which also made them free to play. DCUO has gorgeous graphics and a fun action-style gameplay (also completely free to play). And pretty much all other MMO's have at least the first 20 levels free to play nowadays (WoW, Rift), if not the whole game (DDO, LOTRO).

Hope to see you again in a galaxy, far, far away. Sorry, had to be said.

Actually no it doesn't.. Guilds are failing in WOW.. I have been there and seen it happen the last 2 years.. Your denial doesn't make you right.. It just makes you in denial.. I am sorry you can't face the truth..

Guilds fail all the time for various and a sundry reasons... attributing it to the cross server LFG is a stretch of laffy taffy proportions!

The guild I started before the LFG tool was implemented is still growing and thriving 2+ years later... hmmmm, they must be able to resist the EVIL that is commonly known as "cross server LFG tool".

No, we enjoyed that too... guess not!

According to you WoW is just completely dead with nothing going for it at all. Yet it has 10million+ subscribers...

"Guilds are failing!"
"LFD Killed WoW!"
"Dual Specs killed WoW!"

Honestly, the amount of rubbish you come out with is really quite funny.

Hmmm.. Loss of over 2 million subscribers in about a year.. I would say that is substancial since last word this game had about 2 million subscribers.. Again, it appears you are in denial.. Judging from all the offers I get get from Blizzard, I would say they are still losing peeps.. I am now in the Beta for Diablo 3.. I was invited about 2 or 3 weeks ago.. I don't really play it, and I doubt I have even completely downloaded it. Not to mention, Since Sept. of last year when I quit, I have had at least 2 opportunities to play WOW for 20 days for free..

Let's not forget their offer of subscribing to WOW for a year and getting Diablo 3 for free.. I doubt Blizzard is doing that because they are bursting at the seems with subscriptions.. They are trying to stop the bleeding of players.. Which continues to this day..

People didn't wake up one day and decide just to leave WOW.. There were reasons..

Again, your denial doesn't make what you say right.. It just makes you in denial.. You can call it rubbish all you want.. It still just means you are in denial..

WOW is obviously not at the 12 million it once was.. This can be attributed to a number of things.. Denying reality doesn't make you right and someone else wrong.. But I am sure you will deny that too..

And you telling people they are in denial, doesn't make you right.

Also, think about it.. WoW has the luxury of losing 2M subs in one year (BW would love 2M subs long term) and still be the big gorilla in the genre (by an overwhelming margin). That's a stat right there!

Wouldn't you love, as a company, to have the luxury of losing more subs than your closest competitor even has and still be more than 5x's their size? I know I would...

I was typing out a response to that person and decided to just put them on ignore instead lol.
Some people are not worth arguing with even.

I agree with you completely.
I know most gaming companies would LOVE to be as fail as wow is even now!

With this kind of rampant elitism and a total vacant world while leveling I don't see a point paying to support these kind of development decisions.

I was debating holding over to the March patch but I don't see the point. Adding legacy stuff will just be races/early speeder/some other appearance stuff and the only thing I'm going to be interested in is a 5% exp boost or something similar. Adding another ops/flashpoint when I don't do them already is a complete waste of time. In fact do we even know if it's coming in March??

Bioware has made a lot of mistakes with the releasing of this game, I can understand not wanting cross server but there should of been some consideration for people on low population/low faction/off peak times for assembling teams. Apparently other features are important then the quality of our gaming experience and that just astounds me. Furthermore, I loved the leveling in this game, enough to justify the purchase. How in Gods name did they make it so linear and redundant? I love alts but I can't justify doing the same content over and over again with little variation. Worst is with every alt I level it becomes more difficult to form teams and it becomes a bigger waste of my time.


TLDR: I'll be back in 6 months when they make positive changes to the game.

Ill miss seeing you on the forums. IMO the game is losing one of the good voices for good change when you leave.
I completely understand why. I will be keeping my sub for a while longer but this is due to swtor not being my only mmo i play. If i was limited to just one mmo swtor would not be it.

If i had to pick just one mmo to play i have to stay with wow.

Any ways i wish you the best of luck Touchbass and hope to see you around in some other games! Its been great hearing your thoughts.

No doubt! Think about this...

If WoW keeps losing 2M subs a year... they will be SW's size in 4 years (assuming SW has 2M subs in 4 years). That's shrinkage, but its not a killer by any stretch! And who wouldn't want to dominate their market for over 10 years without even a close competitor? Heck, by that point, WoW should die, even if Blizz just pulls the power cord themselves.

My account rolls over tomorrow morning : 0

The thing is SWTOR doesn't have 2 million subs. Think about it, after one month they had 1.7 subs that were 'active'. Its been over a month since that's happened and they haven't shouted to the world about their numbers hitting 2 million. My bet is they are waiting for the oceanic numbers to come to bring them back up to 1.5~ million so they can boast about sustaining a large threshold of numbers when in fact they've already lost over a 1 million subs off the bat.

It's the same reason WoW is faltering, people less and less don't like the current MMORPG model or to rephrase, the increasing majority of people who play the current MMORPG model are fickle and play only when there is content that they enjoy. I noticed this is in WoW as most of me and my friends were subbed the entire vanilla/BC but only through chunks of WOTLK and Cata cause we had other stuff to do.

2 cents

Gonna miss you guys, but don't worry I'll be back once they address some stuff. My deal breaker is group content so any realistic good fix that you guys validate I'll be back. I'd even settle for an internal server tool as my server is packed during good hours.
Our lack of a proper LFD tool will black out the sun!
Then we shall cancel our subs in the shade!
